You said it's £4000 less salary, but that isn't enough for them to drop the payments - it needs to be a 25% change for them to amend the payments, so you could consider putting money into pension to bring you to that 25% figure - it only needs to be until they change the figure, and then you can stop the pension increase.
good idea. but have to be careful. CMS have a diversion of income procedure. one of them being:
making excessive pension contributions. What will count as excessive payments could depend on your individual circumstances.

I agree - putting money into pension should only be used to adjust your income if it's close to the line, not putting a huge amount in as an obviousl way to avoid maintenance.
